It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

This weekly meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

Fall is beginning! Cooler temperatures have arrived. I had my first hot chocolate of the season on Saturday. School is settling into a routine. A few leaves have just started to turn. As much as I love reading out in the heat on my front porch during the summer, I also enjoy curling up in my library with a mug of hot chocolate and a good book. Hooray for fall!

My Recent Posts

The Wicked Day by Mary Stewart - Review
Shiver Language in The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

What I Read Last Week

Vienna Nocturne by Vivien Shotwell (An interesting hypothesis about Mozart's life, beautifully told)
Jerusalem Vigil by Bodie & Brock Thoene (An impressive book, but way too much violence for me)

What I'm Reading Now

The Case of the Missing Books by Ian Sansom (A cute read about a hapless mobile librarian in Northern Ireland)

What's Coming Up Next

Waverley by Sir Walter Scott (Once I finish The Case of the Missing Books, I'll finally be done with all of the library books I checked out in August. Waverley is my Classic Club Spin book, so now I just have to finish it before October 6!)

The Case of the Missing Books sounds interesting! Mystery and about books, I assume... Right up my alley! I hope we'll be hearing your full thoughts on that one.

The Case of the Missing Books does sound interesting.

PS. I'm in Australia so we're now in Spring and heading into Summer so it's strange hearing talk about hot chocolate!

I love fall, but I wouldn't mind heading back into summer again. I love warm weather! :)

We just moved from Vermont last year, <a href="http://www.guyvestal.com/home/2014/09/monday-reading/">Here is my Monday</a> so we are going to be missing the turning of leaves this year. :-(

I've heard Vermont is beautiful in the fall. It's a shame you'll miss it this year!

Oooh, Waverly sounds lovely. I haven't read a Theone book in a while, might have to revisit!

After plowing through a lot of contemporary fiction this summer, I'm looking forward to the slower pace of a classic. This was my first Thoene book, and I enjoyed it!
